Flyers Redraft: 2008
From Columbus, Ohio to Ottawa, Ontario the Senators actually get to host the draft they were told they would, and if they were upset about not hosting the draft of Sidney Crosby, well they would host the draft of defensemen. This draft was highlighted by 1st pick Steven Stamkos, but the draft produced some amazing … Continue reading Flyers Redraft: 2008
Is Brian Elliott Coming Back… Again?
A year after we asked this question for the first time, we can't help but wonder if it's worth asking a second time- Are the Flyers going to re-sign Brian Elliott again? Elliott was re-signed last year as a cheap veteran backup option as he was good friends with Carter Hart. Yet, I don't think … Continue reading Is Brian Elliott Coming Back… Again?
Protection Plan: 7-3-1 vs 8-1

Predicting Sean Couturier’s Next Contract
Imagine being outside on a warm summer afternoon. The sun is out and it's a nice day, but off in the distance the dark clouds crack the horizon.

Thoughts On The Current Season
Let me preface this short piece by saying this: The Philadelphia Flyers are a hot mess. The 2020-2021 season has been less than ideal, and I cannot say I am confident in our current roster. I do not understand how a team that was so dominant last year (other than in the playoffs) can produce … Continue reading Thoughts On The Current Season

Shayne Gostisbehere and Samuel Morin: A Duo Eight Years In The Making
Close your eyes for a minute and let's go back in time. Back to 2015, a much simpler time. Back then, the future of the Flyers defense core was highlighted by rookie defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere and first year pro Samuel Morin. A 6'7 hulking defenseman partnered with a smaller offensive defenseman, reminiscent of the Chris … Continue reading Shayne Gostisbehere and Samuel Morin: A Duo Eight Years In The Making
Is Anything Ever Going to Change?
The day after an underwhelming trade deadline, the Flyers took their fifth 6-1 loss of the season and if the wind wasn't out of the sails before, it certainly is now. On top of all that the Bruins beat the Sabres and have hit 50 points on the season, six more than the Flyers with … Continue reading Is Anything Ever Going to Change?
Flyers All Time Team
Compiling the best Flyers team ever by players during their time with the Flyers. 12 forwards, 6 defensemen, 2 goalies. These are not necessarily the best Flyers players ever, but in terms of the seasons they had with the Flyers this is the best team ever, in my opinion. I know that the Conn Smythe … Continue reading Flyers All Time Team
